Hexagon has introduced a humanoid robot named AEON, developed in partnership with NVIDIA. The primary goal of this robot is to implement automation in industrial processes, logistics, aviation, and transportation.

AEON was trained in the virtual environment of NVIDIA Isaac Sim, allowing it to master basic movement and manipulation skills in a matter of weeks, while conventional training methods can take months. In real-world applications, AEON operates on a Jetson Orin computer and will receive updates to IGX Thor for safe collaboration with humans.

The robot also integrates with the Hexagon Reality Cloud Studio platform. AEON can automatically scan environments and objects, creating digital replicas for further analysis in the NVIDIA Omniverse. This approach enables the creation of high-precision digital twins without the need for local infrastructure.

In the near future, AEON will be capable of performing precise manipulations, checking parts for conformity, managing equipment, and teleoperation. Hexagon also plans to utilize NVIDIA Isaac GR00T generative models to expand the robot's capabilities based on simulations and human examples.

The first tests of AEON are already being prepared at highly automated enterprises.
